Lionsgate Sound, the award-winning audio division of global content leader Lionsgate, has announced its next tentpole podcast production, Scamanda. Premiering May 15 across all podcast platforms, the non-fiction limited series unravels the surprising and bizarre story behind Amanda C. Riley’s long-running scam to use her growing online presence to take advantage of the social media community. Ultimately, the young woman pleaded guilty to soliciting over $100,000 in donations to help pay for cancer treatments that she never received.
Amanda C. Riley was a lot of things – a wife, a mother, a devoted member of her church, and a blogger with a rising profile. Online and in real life, family, friends, and followers knew her as a charming and beautiful young woman who persevered with an upbeat attitude despite a cancer diagnosis. Her shared cancer journey, as detailed in her blog, was remarkable – it captivated her local San Jose, CA community and followers from around the globe,...

A Tourist’s Guide to Love is Netflix movie directed by Steven K. Tsuchida and starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Scott Ly.
A romantic comedy for this Friday? A classic for lonely hearts, couples in the throes of romance, or simply sensitive people who want to bring out the tender side of their hearts.
For twisted moviegoers… maybe it’s not the right movie.
A Tourist’s Guide to Love (2023) Movie Review
It’s got everything: girl just out of a breakup meets different and charming guy on an exotic trip (this time to Vietnam). One of those movies that usually serves to show the scenery and, by correctly applying the pre-designed scheme of scenes and situations, can’t go wrong.
It doesn’t go wrong, but don’t expect it to be the Titanic of your life either. It knows it’s a romantic comedy and it knows, logically, that in...

There is no reason to watch and enjoy love stories during any particular season. February is not the only month that ought to get all the credit for being filled with love and romance. Love stories on screen can be enjoyed all year without any inhibition. Let’s face it, at the end of the day, we all crave some romance to be watched on screen, no matter what point of the day or the year it is. Countless romance movies come out in a year, and “A Tourist’s Guide to Love” is to join the crowd and try to convince viewers it is the right time to watch a movie with a whole lot of love to discover.

By the time the title card drops in “A Tourist’s Guide To Love” (ten minutes in — the Netflix rom-com equivalent of the 40-minute wait in “Drive My Car”), we know exactly what we’re in for: The heartbroken heroine at the film’s center is going to experience a life-altering perspective shift via romance when embarking on a work trip. Acting as a travelogue for Vietnam with an adorable romantic comedy happening in the foreground, this sweetly spirited story isn’t terribly dissimilar from the streamer’s other offerings like “Love in the Villa” or “Resort to Love,” sating any viewers suffering from stunted wanderlust. Funny, poignant and simultaneously progressive and regressive, it may not add up to five-star escapism, but it’s a jovial jaunt worth taking.
High-powered Los Angeles travel agent Amanda Riley (Rachael Leigh Cook) is used to going above and beyond for her clientele, but not necessarily for herself.

Whether it was the dystopian society of “The Handmaid’s Tale” or the alternate history of “Watchmen,” the Emmy nominated costume designers in the fantasy/sci-fi category sought to ground their looks in reality. This meant relying on historical research, such as art and photo references of specific time periods, to help transport audiences into different worlds, and to convey emotion through their designs.

Post-industrial Victorian England served as an influence on the clothes of Amazon’s neo-noir fairy drama. But because many characters are mythological creatures, historical styles had to mix with more mystical and magical silhouettes. “You have to present a reality in order to have to have the flip side which is the fantasy,” says costume designer and self-proclaimed history nerd Joanna Eatwell. The first step for her and her team (assistant costume designer Clare Vyse and costume supervisor Jennifer Lander) was understanding the rules,...

Amanda Riley, a 22-year-old model and Instagram influencer, recounted the chaos she experienced attempting to attend the Fyre Festival in the Bahamas to The Hollywood Reporter on Friday — even though she didn’t have to shell out thousands of dollars to attend.
With the help of Hollywood’s most glamorous models and influencers, including Riley, Fyre Festival was promoted as music festival heaven for those willing to shell out $1,500 to $12,000, with those who bought VIP passes getting access to a yacht.
But when attendees arrived at the venue, all they found was chaos — no luxurious housing, no gourmet meals and no musical acts.
